DSE 5 #2 August 5, 2010 I don't know much about it, but do know that when I had Star, I couldn't plug it into my Dishnetwork box, even tho the dishes and LNB are made by the same manufacturer. Frequencies and decode (I assume) would be quite different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have two DirecTV dishes already and after the end of next week I very likely might have a third...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

keithbar 1 #4 August 6, 2010 yeah i didn't figure i could get that lucky. I work 16 hr days at work and it sucks to only have rabbit ears for t.v. reception. I noticed the preinstalled dish on the house and that they had just cut the coax cable ends off and was like hey that wouldn't be hard to put a end on and run a new cable over to the window. then when i got to looking closer i noticed is was a dish network dish i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
